Okay, folks, listen up! The word on the street is that Slay the Spire 2, the game that basically redefined roguelike deck-building, is going to take a bit longer to arrive. Initially, Mega Crit, the masterminds behind it, were shooting for an autumn 2025 release. However, they've just announced a shift to March 2026. Bummer, right?

But here's a fun fact: we know the exact day of the week! They've already said it's coming out on a Thursday. So, mark your calendars for either March 5th, 12th, 19th, or 26th, 2026. Maybe sneak in a few vacation days around then, just in case!

According to Mega Crit, there's no crazy drama behind the delay. They mentioned some personal stuff came up for the team (everyone's doing fine!), and they got a little carried away with adding cool new features. Ultimately, they just want to make sure the game is super polished before it hits our screens.

In a cheeky FAQ, they even joked that it wasn't Silksong's fault this time! Apparently, they'd already decided on the new release window before Silksong's date was revealed. Talk about coincidences! But hey, at least we can all keep busy with Silksong while we wait!

What's New in Slay the Spire 2?

At first glance, Slay the Spire 2 might seem like a clone of the original. But if you look closer, you'll spot some cool upgrades. They've put a ton of work into making the game look better, with what seems like 3D models in 2D environments. Plus, they're packing in even more content than before.

One of the biggest changes they've talked about is alternate acts. This means you can choose different versions of acts when you replay the game, which should help keep things fresh. Each variation will have completely different environments, enemies, events, and bosses. They showed off two examples: Act 1a, called Overgrowth (a jungle theme), and Act 1b, the Underdocks (a watery area). Sounds pretty awesome, right?
